KABC Channel 7, live broadcast
Posted on 09/21/2005 4:21:43 PM PDT by kingu
A Jet Blue aircraft just did a low altitude flyby of Long Beach airport after reporting some concern with their forward gear. The television helicopter caught an image of it - the gear is turned sideways and tilted.
Aircraft is heading out towards the ocean to drop fuel, will turn around, and attempt a 'soft field' landing, keeping the nose up as long as possible.

expert on MSNBC just slammed airbus vs. boeing for airbus "not allowing the pilot flexibility at times like this", or something similar to that.

"I wouldn't want to be on the plane..."
To me that sort of negates everything else you said.

ValuJet turned into AirTran. JetBlue is a relatively new airline.
